Abstract

Let XX be a smooth manifold and k\mathbf{k} be a commutative (or at least E2\mathbb{E}_2) ring spectrum. Given a smooth exact Lagrangian LTXL\hookrightarrow T^*X, the microlocal sheaf theory (following Kashiwara--Schapira) naturally assigns a locally constant sheaf of categories on LL with fiber equivalent to the category of k\mathbf{k}-spectra Mod(k)\mathrm{Mod}(\mathbf{k}). We show that the classifying map for the local system of categories factors through the stable Gauss map LU/OL\rightarrow U/O and the delooping of the JJ-homomorphism U/OBPic(S)U/O\rightarrow B\mathrm{Pic}(\mathbf{S}). As an application, combining with previous results of Guillermou [Gui], we recover a result of Abouzaid--Kragh [AbKr] on the triviality of the composition LU/OBPic(S)L\rightarrow U/O\rightarrow B\mathrm{Pic}(\mathbf{S}), when LL is in addition compact.
